Supra Outage

[Thomas]

Noticed supra down at roughly 9:50 am EST on 8/16/04.

Email tech support response at 11:03...

"The server was down and needed a reboot. Sites are now back up and I see your site : [domain] working fine now."

Sites are indeed back up.

Still showing various intermittent failures (red lights) in server status. Probably part of the reboot process.

Still seeing any red indicators, Thomas? if so, which ones.

Does this explain why I am unable to send email at 11:45am?
An unknown error has occurred. Subject 'EVCN from home page...', Account: 'mail.grassrootsev.com', Server: 'mail.grassrootsev.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0B

Jeep and Supra were both brought to a standstill by spammers. We have identified the cause and are still in the process of getting things back in order, so your patience is appreciated. SMTP may be off and on for a bit while we make sure there are no additional spam messages outgoing.

Supra all green as of 2:51pm EST

Justin- 'appreciate any details you can share about spammer stuff. We all get a bit freaked at the thought of spam coming from our servers, or attacking them.
